82 Cadillac Eldorado w/ touring suspension and big block 472. 16 X 8 Trans Am wheels with 6.75” backspacing. No rub with 225/60 16. With 235/55 s the inner lip of the rear fender must be rolled or cut, and those are the widest tires for the back with that backspacing. There is room for 1” more backspacing in the rear. 255/50s are the widest up front. Plenty of room under the front fender, but the tire touches the sway bar when the wheel is at full turn to lock due to excessive tire overhang. Needs a ¼” spacer.





I also Test fitted a 17 X 9.5 Corvette wheel with 7.49” backspacing under the front with a 275/40 17 and had no problem. The rear would require a 255MM wide tire and most all of the inner fender lip to be shaved. Sorry for the poor quality picture.

If you want the biggest, baddest tire and wheel combination possible, you need to get a Tire MountMate tool from WheelWorks, Inc. The tool allows you to determine the correct offset needed to make the tires fit without rubbing. And you don't even need a wheel to fit the tire.

I would have to agree -- this is definitely the best tool I have in my arsenal of tools.

You only get one shot when your doing custom wheels and this will make your life so much easier.

You actually get to see what the tire looks like on the car. Turn the front wheel and check for clearance issues and run the suspension up and down.

Trust me you need one of these when you doing custom wheels.

This database is a good start. It would be nice to put pics with each input. What someone says fits may be a function of perception? Plus, there has to be more "A" bodies on here right.... and where are all the Buicks at? Take the time boys, fill in the blanks.
